Camping at Hamburg State Park
and
Deep Roots Festival in Milledgeville
--------------------------------------------
Saturday:
* We luck out with a site at Hamburg
State Park.
* We set up the tent..... pump up the air mattress....
* We head over to Milledgeville for the Deep Roots Festival (Car Show
and BBQ) where we ate some great jerk chicken.
* We head back to Hamburg and
went for a short walk to the camp office/gristmill where they had a small
Halloween Festival.
* We watched the kids go for Hay Rides....
* We walked
back to the camp site where we keep our flashlights off as much as possible.
* With the lack of light we are
rewarded by a very clear sky
filled with stars!!!!
* We are also rewarded by getting to watch masked
teenagers
with gas powered leaf blowers scaring the **** out of the little kids as the
hey rides went past.
* Back in camp we could see the campground had been
decorated for the kids.....
Sunday:
* At 2:00AM it is 37F.
*
The sky is amazingly clear... even more stars are visible than earlier.
* As
it gets light we can see how foggy the lake has truly become.
* We go
for a walk on a tail and spot the now closed wilderness camping.
* We also
head to the boat launch and notice shells and a large fish skull...
* We
head back to camp and start a fire... we cook brots and croissants over the
fire....
It was a Great Weekend!!!

Below is the lake we camped next to.
It has tree
stumps sticking out that would normally be under water.
The HUGE tent I use when we are car camping (cheating!!!).
